KKR to Invest Over ₹6,000 Crore in Petronas India Renewable Energy Unit
KKR plans to invest over ₹6,000 crore in Gentari Renewable India, the renewable energy unit of Malaysia's Petronas. The funding aims to support expansion of renewable energy and green hydrogen projects, as well as reduce debt. While the investment does not immediately grant KKR a stake, it provides an option for future ownership. Gentari, which acquired a 1.6 GW renewable portfolio from Brookfield, also intends to use the funds to acquire stakes in existing joint ventures in India.
